Gov. Jack Markell and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval signed a multi-state internet gaming agreement that will eventually allow poker players in both states to play against each other online at the same virtual tables.

The agreement also allows member states to retain the necessary control over who offers online gaming within their borders, and it allows member states to pursue the particular applications of online gaming that make the most sense for them.

“Gov. Sandoval and I both share the goal of ensuring that our states’ gaming industries are as competitive as they can be, while ensuring that games are conducted fairly, honestly, and securely,” said Governor Markell.
